Wednesday, January 4, 2017

In the field of chemical engineering, researchers are applying the ideas of systems design and mathematical modeling to push the field into unexplored areas.

Fengqi You is the Roxanne E. and Michael J. Zak Professor and a David Croll Faculty Fellow in the Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. “I believe that chemical engineers should be able to do everything,” says You. “Society faces many issues in the areas of food, water and energy production. Chemical engineers can help come up with sustainable solutions to important challenges in these areas.”
